ECS runs on EC2. You basically register available servers and ECS automatically puts containers onto the instances where space is available.

We have it setup with Github actions to automatically deploy to ECS as well.



I think I should definitely consider it. I was using ECS Fargate on another project and it was not using EC2.

Why you choose ECS with EC2 instances instead of Fargate?


Good question. Tbh I haven't looked into Fargate too much. For our use case, we're processing millions of requests every day. So we needed more control for performance and cost. We're also fairly comfortable with lower level stuff and use Terraform to manage the infrastructure.
